Zoë Coombs Marr: Every Single Thing in My Whole Entire Life certainly has a fascinating hook -  the show description claims that it will be a “tell-all, personal storytelling comedy show.” Unfortunately, audiences actually learn very little about Coombs Marr’s life.

Catherine Cohen: Come For Me is self-described as a “openly glamorous, decidedly horny comedy cabaret,” and that is certainly accurate! Cohen also compares her show to Punchdrunk’s Sleep No More, an immersive theatrical experience, and she’s not wrong.

BroadwayWorld sat down with Sir Ian McKellen about taking on the role of Jimmy Erskine, in The Critic. We discussed period drama, how performing for movies compares to live theatre and what it was like playing a critic as a performer.

Sheeps: The Giggle Bunch (That's Our Name For You) has been performing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for over a decade, and now they’re bringing what may be their final show to the Pleasance.

Alexander Bennett: Emotional Daredevil is certainly a show that presents reviewers with a challenge - how do you discuss a show that the performer asks you to not spoil in any way? This request is not unreasonable for this particular show, as it does heavily depend on audience members coming in with no idea of what to expect.

Riki Lindhome: Dead Inside has Lindhome taking audiences on her infertility journey, a term she hates but still uses. This is not her first time discussing her infertility - she did a television episode about it, which she shows the audience a clip of, giving us a sneak peek at what we’ll be hearing about for the next hour.

Character Flaw, written and performed by Philippa Dawson, takes audience members into the mind of Dawson, particularly looking at her experiences with ADHD and queer identity.

The Greatest Magic Show begins with a bang as the incredibly energetic ringmaster, Magnus, bursts on stage, singing a parody of Aladdin’s “Arabian Nights” with lyrics about him travelling the world to find what he considers to be the “greatest show.” Now, he’s here to present all of the great things he has seen, with help from Sam and Justin.

Alex Kitson: Must I Paint You A Picture? is a show with a strong hook - Kitson, who has been told to be more personal in his comedy, has a big secret, and he is going to reveal it by the end of the show. But, before that secret is revealed, we’re going to be treated to some fun standup comedy.

Ivo Graham: Grand Designs is a show, according to Graham, made up of lists to deal with the chaos that the comedian has been facing. Throughout the hour we have with him, Graham discusses his love for football, his family and friends and how music has made an impact on his life.

‘It was great to entertain families while teaching them a lot about culture, from dance moves to cocoa' Her Royal Majesty Queen Angelique-Monet on bringing Ventriloquist Queen: A True African Queen to the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe

From the beginning of Reuben Kaye: Live and Intimidating, you know you are in for something different than your usual Fringe show. This is something that Kaye acknowledges himself as he wanders through the crowd, declaring that he will be starting with the dark stuff, saying that his attitude is like “they recast Jaws with Camila Parker-Bowles'

Come Dine With Me: The Musical. is an adaptation of the hit television series that has four strangers cook meals for one another, ranking them in order to win the grand prize by the end. The show follows not only the contestants on the show but also those filming it, particularly the producer, Mary, camera operator, Roy, and sound man, Teddy.

Alex Prescot: I’ve Got A Song About That has quite the explanatory title - Prescot, a musical comedian, claims to have a song for every situation, and he is here to prove it through a show. We begin with crowd work, with Prescot asking audience members a range of questions.

As a celebration of the 10th anniversary of Tin Can Bros, the group finally brought one of their most popular shows, Spies Are Forver, to London in a new format with a new cast.

Larry Dean: Dodger begins with Dean joking about what he thinks will be the first thing that people notice about him - his appearance. The audience is introduced to one of the central characters in his story, his nan, with her description of Dean, saying that he looks “left-handed.”

As soon as you enter the venue for Michelle Brasier: Legacy, you are greeted by Brasier herself, who welcomes you with a smile and asks for your name. She then asks others entering if they have the same name and, if so, what their last name is, hoping to find two that match.
